For utilities, navigating the unpredictable nature of weather-related energy supply and demand amplifies the importance of a rigorous analysis of resource adequacy to uphold a dependable power grid. In this webinar, Ascend Analytics' resource planning experts Dr. Brandon Mauch and power reliability expert Zachary Brode dive into crucial topics including:

• Role of temperature and correlated outages in resource adequacy assessment
• Role of storage and duration implications for resource adequacy analysis
• Electric Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) by resource type
• Evaluating emerging technologies to support renewable integration

With low prices, high wind penetration, and an incoming surge of solar, SPP is well-situated to support offtake demand for clean energy. As load grows with electrification, data centers, and green hydrogen production the need for new capacity will become more acute, with a rapidly rising value for capacity through the end of the decade. In this webinar, we will discuss Ascend Analytics’ outlook on the SPP power market, identifying key dynamics and opportunities for renewables and storage.
